This is a great tent, some of the comments are very misleading
Notes:
1. If it took an hour to put up on your own, that's because this is a 4 man tent, so most likely it's made to be put up by two people at least. You can do it on your own but it's tough because of that reason. Even so, it's not as tough to put up on your own as some of the 2 man's I've had in the past.
2. The gap at the front is necessary to let out condensation - otherwise you're going to wake up to the rainforest! It doesn't create a draft unless you don't pin it down, or if you haven't done your guy ropes correctly on the doors
However, I would say this - the instructions are not clear on the tent about how to erect it, but it's such a basic setup you would struggle to find somebody unable to work it out.
It's dry, wind resistant, strong, good looking, and really spacious. After numerous Vangos, outwells and (god forbid) Hi Gear tents i'd say this one is an absolute bargain.

I bought this tent after seeing it in our local camping showroom and being impressed with the size and build quality. Then, after getting home, I looked online for reviews (hoping to find lots of positives to equal the sales pitch that I got invstore). I was somewhat dismayed to read bad reviews (Amazon in particular) regarding the zipless bottom. I had fears that wind and rain would be blowing in all night. Luckily, I don't think that reviewer actually ever even tested the tent, as I can safely say there is no problem.
After researching online I found that this zipless bottom is common to SIG tunnel tents. On the first morning, I actually thought that the tent had a leak as there was water dripping (not much) from both of the window loops. This wasn't water, though, but condensation: it is true, you do need ventilation in tents with a SIG as condensation is a real problem. I know it wasn't rain now as it did it the next morning when there had been no rain. You can get around the problem by opening the tent up in the morning and letting it air.
As for the door/water blowing in and it being hard to close from inside I had no problems. The tent has 3 loops on the bottom of the door (one at either side and one in the middle) which you can easily reach from inside the tent when the door is fully zipped down. Just get a small sized peg and push it in with your hand and the door will be secure with enough ventilation to keep down condensation. There is also a lip around the base of the groundsheet which keeps water out.
I tested this tent in the windiest conditions (80mph winds + thunderstorms) and there wasn't a drop of water inside. The tent took a total battering all night long and was fine the next day. This is a very good quality tent.
To review the tent itself, it is very spacious inside; you can easily stand in both living and sleeping areas. I'm on my own with my dog and managed to put it up easily -- just remember when pushing the poles through not to force them; push them in a way and then move to where the pole end is and feed it through a bit more then go back and work the creases to the edge. The sleeping area can be split into two double bed areas, one big (2 double) area or one double area + extended living space. It has a hole for EHU and also a vent hole for a Coleman fan in the summer. It also has automatic windows which curl up as you unzip them -- no need to fast them up.
One small problem (hence 8 stars) was that there isn't an insect net built in. However, go along to your local market and ask the material stall if they would put you together a 60 x 65 inch square with velcro on each corner. I got two for a tenner and they work fine when the tent is airing in the morning. I'd also recommend a groundsheet as you can they dry the tent off at home even if the lawn is wet. Other than that, I am very content with this tent and it has been well worth the money.

I used the tent for the first time this weekend (8/11th july) went to the north of the lake district. Pitched it myself in about half an hour. Looked the bees knees once it was up. However, it rained and blew gales more or less non-stop for two days and night. Result wet through, for want of another word. I presumed it was from the gap at the bottom of the door (no zip!), but it also rained the the window seals as well. At least the sleeping compartments were ok .Or so I thought. Rain also came in at the rear of the tent as well leaving puddles between the groundsheet of the tent and the sleeping compartments groundsheet. Result, slight seepage into the air bed. I should have kept my £125 in my pocket.

Great tent - we were new to camping and liked it so decided to buy a tent with a living area - we are delighted with it!
Used it at peebles last week for the first time and as the other reviews advise it was easy and quick to put up and down and does fit back into the bag quite easily. During the night of our stay the weather was very bad - very windy and rainy and the tent stood up to the weather very well! I would be confident that it can stand up to all weathers.
People keep mentioning about the gap in the door but we did not find it to be a problem we pinned the door down and the rain just ran off onto the ground. No leaks in the rain.
Paid £115 from amazon for this and delighted with it.
Friends bought the 6 man and it was good too and had no problems in the stormy weather either. Also easy to put up and take down.

We had been looking for a tent for ages and couldn't decide what to get. We ended up getting the Coastline 4 deluxe tent, canopy,carpet and extra groundsheet for £199 which we thought was a really good price.
We were really pleased with our first outing. As per other reviews, there was plenty of room for 2 adults and 1 large dog. It took us 1 hour from getting out of the car to sitting down with a beer. Not bad for our first attempt!
The only disappointment with the tent is that they didn't put a zip on the bottom of the door. Its not a great problem as you can hook the middle,but it can let a bit of a draft in.
We did have a tiny leak from the seam around the window but am assuming that this was because the tent was new and didn't pre wet the tent before our trip.
Would definitely recommend this tent.

New to camping we liked this tent because it is simple to pitch and large enough for the three of us (2 adults, 1 child).We have just returned from our 1st two nights away in the tent.
Really easy to pitch, although the instructions are inadequate so we used this site to get advice and it worked really well!
Nice living area, plenty of room for table and three armchairs and room for storage. I agree with Growvirigns comment earlier that the lack of a completely zipped door is strange and it did flap about a bit.We took down the divider in the bedroom area and all slept in together.
We purchased the porch which we found great as it provided valuable shade in the very hot sun and would have provided a rain shelter as well.
Very quick to strike the tent too, even managed to get it back into the bag!
All in all we feel it is a good tent for our needs and can't wait to use it again!

We recently purchased this tent to use as a quick pitch weekend tent for the 3 of us (2 adults and 1 9yr old) as opposed to taking our Montana 6 for short breaks.
Wanted a tunnel type with enough space to sit indoors should the weather be against us, SIG, and plenty of head height(cant be doing with all that crawling in and out of tents being nearly 6 ft!) and this tent ticked all the boxes!
Bedroom big enough for the 3 of us, probably cramped with 4 though. Plenty of space to sit in camping chairs indoors on an evening. As with the previous review, disappointed with front door not being sealed at front but was ok fastened down with the elastic hoop in centre of door.
New self roll windows are a novelty but only downside is no fly screen in windows so cant open for ventilation. Small ventilation port at ground level for the cooling fan Coleman produces, without fan in situ very little air circulation.
Saying that its proved to be perfect for a weekend camp. Took 15 minutes first pitch having just taken it straight out of the bag! Front zip on awning useful, with wind break down one side its proved to be perfect outdoor storage for cooking stuff etc.
Good on price too, we paid £125 including front porch. Haven't bothered with carpet, large picnic rug does same job, did buy extra ground sheet though to use as footprint great at keeping SIG clean and extra layer of insulation.

Tested this out for the first time over the bank holiday having purchased it from Amazon for £110. A bargain!
Its an easy one to get up which could be done by 1 person although I think 2 people makes things a lot easier. Just 3 poles all the same length to slot in then peg it and guyropes. The inner tent hung inside. Reckon 20mins max once you have done it once.
Plenty of space in the bedroom for a large double airbed with space all around. Bedrooms can be divided though this would makes things a lot more cramped. A roomy porch for cooking and storage. (based on 2 people sharing) and we were able to sit and read/play cards/eat inside without feeling cramped. The real bonus is the height. Being 6ft2 myself there is loads of headroom throughout.
Only negative is the front door. There are two zips down each side but nothing to seal along the bottom. So it flapped around and let in draughts when we were inside. Had to put in pegs to secure it, not really ideal doing this from the inside.
However despite this I found it a well built, high quality tent that was well tested by the typical bank holiday weekend weather of wind and rain.

New to camping as a family, so starting small with this 4 berth tunnel tent, which came with footprint, porch and carpet all in for £199 from Yeomans at the Caravan & Boat Show at end of February.
I've had a trial run, which I had to do on my own, and it took me an hour to pitch and the same to strike.! I'm hoping that's because I've yet to learn the tricks of the trade, however the instructions were pretty naff and there doesn't seem to be much help on the net anywhere.
Not used it in anger yet, but looking forward to it.
Will re-write the review when I've used it properly.
